Quilts in waiting

 Back on Sunday I mentioned that I have been working on a project of my own and that I would write about it later this week. Life always slows down for us come the colder weather months, as it does for most people, I suppose. The quieter times, especially on the weekends has allowed  me to designate Saturdays and Sundays for my own projects. I have been signed up for a local quilt store’s Kona Solids fat quarters bundle subscription that comes every other month. I decided to use it for a Judy Martin design called Card Shuffle from her book Stellar Quilts. I have said many times in the past that I love her designs. There are at least 2, perhaps 3 out of this book that I want to do. I am making a twin sized for my own use. I managed to make a few more units for it and then did some fabric choice pairings for the next couple of rows. I love the way this is looking so far. Stay tuned for further progress on this. I also have a personal foundation pieced project that I worked on through 2024 as a block of the month. It was sponsored by carol Doak on her facebook page and is called Circle of Friends. It got put into time out as I pondered how to quilt it and how to put it together. Those plans are taking shape. I just need to get some batting for it and I can start it on its way to being a finish. It hasn’t been out of its box for a photo shoot since about a year ago now. I will have to update the photo. I have more than 12 blocks done now, some of which may end up pieced into the back somehow, yet to be determined. I have a layout for it all figured out and it will be done quilt as you go style. I may try out some free motion continuous curves on it, something I have yt to try on my domestic sewing machine. It is times like this that I miss my long arm machine. This will also be a stay tuned for more project.

I found a new to me blog with a Wednesday link up party that I will link this, and further personal quilt projects to, called Wednesday Wait Loss, which is rather appropriate for 2 quilts that have been waiting their turns.
